my concern is not restricted to topbraid. i am trying to understand how these definitions are intended to act, in general, in the course of sparql query and update processing. given these two modes, above, is it correct that, - when the definitions are intended to specify dynamic inferences, a processor would execute rules first, followed by constructors. - when performing a sparql update, a processor would execute definitions which are intended to be materialized in the order, first rules, followed by constructors and as the last step it would run constraints? or, is there a distinction made between update rules and constructors, in the the rule form would be active during dynamic inference while the constructor form would apply when materializing? does that cover all the intended applications? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Group "TopBraid Suite Users", the topics of which include Enterprise Vocabulary Network (EVN), Reference Data Manager (RDM), TopBraid Composer, TopBraid Live, TopBraid Insight, SPARQLMotion, SPARQL Web Pages and SPIN.
